RE your post #5 - It's interesting to me that local residents remember something very different than what Kerry said:

But they [local residents] do remember that in 1967, Judge Pickering testified against Sam Bowers, a Ku Klux Klan leader based in Laurel who was on trial for the firebombing death of a black civil rights worker. Several said that just as the judge broke with prevailing white opinion in the state to do so, they have no trouble differing with black opinion.

Kerry was referring to a distorted discription of a case where the judge thought an injustice in sentencing had occured in a cross burning case of one of the perps vs the other two perps..You don't think they will use any of the truth and good things said,do you?
